<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's no secret that we wear a lot of dresses, but a lot of people think we only wear vintage because we own a vintage shop, but this is far from true! We do however like to mix and match old and new, so we thought we would put together a little mish-mash of old and new styles that look strikingly similar! We love them both! Which do you prefer-old or new?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyBrAsbGp5Bo41G6UvZAhOdlMyWII_Mp6N1E7Pj4O__-rkYLATiNrr5_X1Ix4jms4snAcPMNcj0wRrr-QGDFXbQkNYbnKvFHnjL8j4SZDq0YQX5lydCFNK3GnRTty-t1_eZFWsxSxH1wCR/s1600/polka_dot_dresses_then_and_now.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
